mandasmom17 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I'm only on day 3, but it seems like I'm hungry ALL THE TIME! Even right after I finish a meal. I wasn't much of a snacker before, but I've made sure to have approved snacks in between meals, but I still have this hollow feeling in my stomach. Am I alone on this?

Am I alone on this? Are you eating fat, protein and veggies with every meal? Have you seen the template and are making your meals large enough to last you 4-5 hours? I'm guessing no because of the snacking between meals. Feel free to list out what you've been eating including portion sizes and specific foods and we'll see if something stands out.

mandasmom17 Posted May 3, 2018 Author Share Posted May 3, 2018 After writing it down, I'm on day 4 Day 1 I had one egg with sweet potato (3 slices about 4" round 1/2"thick) and 2 strips diced bacon, chicken cobb salad (with a vinaigrette and no cheese), slow cooker meatballs in marinara sauce. (I had 9 meatballs, 1/2 ounce each) snacks were Mixed berries Day 2 upped to 2 eggs with roasted Brussels sprouts and bacon, chicken fajita (really just grilled chicken and bell peppers with taco seasoning), zucchini noodles in marinara. snack was a cucumber and mixed berries. Day 3 upped to 3 eggs with mushrooms, (2) chicken salad wrapped in leaf lettuce, cranberry balsamic chicken. Snack was celery and almond butter. Day 4 3 eggs grilled veggies (onion, peppers,mushrooms, ) with approved sausage, left over cranberry balsamic chicken and mixed berries. Snack was a handful of nut and berry delight (almonds, apple juice sweetened cranberries, dried strawberries, dried sour cherries, pecans, dried blueberries) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators SugarcubeOD Posted May 3, 2018 Moderators Share Posted May 3, 2018 Okay so as nutrition is cumulative, you've got quite a bit of catching up to do. Have you seen the template? Your best bet at this point is to use the template to build meals to last you 4-5 hours. Eggs when they are your sole source of protein are as many as you can hold in one hand without dropping. 3 + a sausage is good. I see no fat in your breakfasts or lunches and your day 4 lunch has no veggies? If you have to eat between meals, eat protein and fat. Leave that dried fruit and the nuts/nut butters aside until you get your portions and plate composition down a bit better.
